Meachem set to prove his critics wrong- NOLA.com

The soft-spoken 23-year-old is determined to prove himself to coaches and teammates, friends and family, and even all those optimists and pessimists in the Saints' fan base.

"It's very motivational to hear somebody say, 'Oh, well, he was a bust,' " said Meachem, who was slowed by a knee injury throughout training camp and into the first month of last season. "So (you want) to prove everybody wrong and just let everybody know you weren't a bust, and you're going to do what you're supposed to do."

Even more impressive is what Meachem did shortly after last season ended. He sought out the help of veteran receiver David Patten, who has earned a reputation as one of the hardest-working professionals in the league.

At least Mechem is seeking help. The only help Sully sought was from the buffet line.
